Convert knot to meter/minute
Please provide values below to convert knot [kt] to meter/minute [m/min], or Convert meter/minute to knot.
1 kt = 30.8666666023 m/min. To convert knot to meter/minute, multiply the value by 30.8666666023; to go the other way, divide by it (1 m/min = 0.0323974082749 kt). Both units measure speed and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kt = 30.8666666023 m/min
- 1 m/min = 0.0323974082749 kt
- 10 kt = 308.666666023 m/min
- 100 kt = 3086.66666023 m/min
How to Convert Knot to Meter/minute
1 kt = 30.8666666022667 m/min
Example: convert 15 kt to m/min:
15 kt = 15 × 30.8666666022667 m/min = 462.999999034 m/min

Knot
A knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts.
History/Origin
The knot originated from the practice of measuring a ship's speed using a device called a chip log, which involved counting the number of knots that passed through a sailor's hands over a specific time interval. It became standardized as a unit of speed in maritime navigation.
Current Use
Today, the knot is primarily used in maritime and aviation industries to express the speed of ships and aircraft, providing a consistent measurement across international waters and airspace.
Meter/minute
Meter per minute (m/min) is a unit of speed representing the distance in meters traveled in one minute.
History/Origin
The meter per minute has been used historically in various fields such as manufacturing and transportation to measure speed, especially before the widespread adoption of SI units. It is a derived unit based on the meter, the SI base unit of length, and the minute, a unit of time.
Current Use
Today, m/min is primarily used in specific industrial and engineering contexts to measure linear speed, particularly where minute-level precision is sufficient, although the SI unit meters per second (m/s) is more common in scientific applications.
